"I think the Black Sea Hockey League was a big success - said Erzurum American Coach Keith McAdams - We had good crowds for senior and youth games. I believe the future of the Black Sea League is good. The experience was great for Gençlik Spor senior players, we were able to play some of our younger players. It was a great experience for Ankara, Koceli, Istanbul and Erzurum to play international games. Both the Georgian Senior Club and U14 team played well. We received very positive feedback from the fans"
